consequences of recent events across the arab world this year have been deeply felt internationally russia has long been against military action when talks could instead lay a path to peace we hear now from a man who served at the very heart of russia's global diplomacy the interview coming up. mr primark off thank you very much for coming here a lot has been happening in the world recently iran and israel for example have been exchanging very harsh words recently while there may be nothing new about that israel seems to be driving itself into some sort of self isolation should we expect any and reasonable starts from israel you know i think you're right in saying that

it's israel which is driving itself into international isolation and that shows in many ways one and perhaps the most dangerous aspect is the escalation of tension around or even preparations for an attack on iran this is a very dangerous and other aspect of the isolation is that israel the government of israel in its fight for the status quo is pushing the palestinians to assert themselves as a state in various international organizations they've already succeeded in you know sco is also is up to isolation for israel itself public opinion against israel and then the other situation you probably remember the incident or a banner of psychos and a microphone it wasn't working and rather unflattering comments from both sides regarding israel everyone is oh so cozy who said netanyahu was a low budget bomb a said and i have to deal with him every day so obama was no more flattering to netanyahu and sarkozy was all this i think goes to show that israel's policy is not right in my opinion totally wrong it is an associate of color there's also the so

you do admit that it is possible that israel may attack iran. yes unfortunately i do i really hope that it never happens because this may lead to very dangerous consequences which some say that the usa can. just waiting for iraq to restore its oil production capacity to start supplying oil to the world market after which the usa will clear israel to attack but i'd say that's not quite correct if ever a strike on iraq i think that iran will do everything to gain control of the situation in iraq and nobody knows how i've been to iraq to try to develop afterwards right now around has great authority and influence in the shia community i'll just also says that you've said that israel has gradually been losing a significant part of its influence i broke its connections with turkey and egypt we all heard what president sarkozy and obama said about prime minister. moreover they're experiencing

a local economic crisis what role do you see israel playing in the future. i believe the best role for israel is to have the kind of leader that it used to have historically like the prime minister who supported peace and was killed a leader who would find a compromise settlement with palestine and syria it's important i mention syria as this is a matter that cannot be resolved. do you believe that the fundamental problems of today's israel why would that country's authorities. i certainly do it's also a matter of public opinion of course but the matter can change take the present arab spring for instance it's absolutely obvious to me that it broke out into a new sea and egypt without any external preparation i don't share the opinion of those who believe it's been stirred up by americans or europeans and so on it was a spontaneous outrage a rebellion if it was a revolution or so but it but what's the health care and what future implications will it have with the way i see it americans either approach the arab states are

combining their willingness to protect their national interests in this region with a certain romanticism which one has to be remanded to believe that the western democratic model could be transferred to an arabic country if that's what they really want to do more of it so. islam and democracy are incompatible it's not just a matter of islam it's also a matter of traditions and historical experience religion and mentality you cannot just export revolution or democracy to another country in this sense they're similar to trotskyist believe that they could just bring a revolution to a country in spite of its local conditions even when if situation wasn't suitable for athens the forces in charge of israel should be able to assess the situation soberly and to understand the danger of extremist activities of any kind they should be willing to find a peaceful solution based on a compromise with palestine and then with syria it's possible to reach a compromise in all very acute issues israel security should certainly be discussed

and backed with certain activities it could be done but most importantly what's been stopping this from happening on the one hand it's the position of the israeli leadership it's been striving to consolidate the status quo on the other hand the americans have been reducing their activity at a summit which is quite comprehensive as they want to take time out for the electoral carried this time pre-election doesn't encourage the us presidents to work actively on the middle east settlement issue this pause on the part of americans is well grounded from their point of view. is a dangerous mission. it is very dangerous because as we've mentioned at the beginning there's the possibility of an israeli attack on iran the trends that have been developing could result in a strong escalation of pressure number one so it's. there is also the subject of the arab spring and you said you don't believe there had been any external influence. no that's not what i said i said i don't believe it could all have been

spurred by an outside influence at the start and at the end and then of course there was in floods you could see it with your own eyes in libya and in other countries i was in washington at the moment when events in egypt were here and it was he much turmoil there i talked to madeleine albright and other of my ex colleagues and they were quite taken off guard by this it was meant in egypt because mubarak used to be a pro western wall he had always done what they thought was right he was against terrorism and extremist islam is and the americans are still trying to gain control of the situation and retain the position they used to have which will give them a foothold for the future it's wrong to think it was america who overthrew the barrack order to museum president. mr primakov but thanks most terrifying to me is the fact that and all those countries and egypt and libya and tunisia we now have muslim extremists empower. yourself you know this isn't true you're wrong about that first of all it's a conglomerate of forces and i think that we can't be talking about

a complete triumph is a post in which i use you know egypt has begun to win some seats in the parliament perhaps even more than expected but we should keep in mind that various muslim organizations evolve with time the muslim brothers for example are not the same organization anymore it was the one that wanted to overthrow or kill nasser some time back in the muslim brotherhood is different and of course there are extremists much them at the same time that i think that all this power of spring first has had an effect on islamic organizations as well because traditionalism going to visions in which it is here in egypt have become more moderate than ever. before so it's a positive influence. is positive in this respect there's new craziness and a look at the party the muslim brotherhood is creating in egypt they've announced that even christians can join the party at the same time they're not talking about abolishing secular state and. producing sharia norms it's a social and political life nobody's talking about those. school. but the new

leaders in libya have declared that they are going to build a new state based on sharia law is it possible well some people might say that in libya libya is not egypt after all first of all the americans and all of us can expel it was it still haven't analyzed the and he could duffey forces and see what they're made up of this is just plain unprofessional after all there might have been some democratic group there displeased it elfie but mostly there are tribes you see. so you think libya is not going to become a fundamentalist islamic state. nobody knows when libya is going to recover from its chaos look at iraq for example it's been more than eight years old and we still can't stabilize the situation at t.v. never stops reporting new casualties fifteen thirty to every day in iraq bombs explosions and so on have been so regularly that people used to. think this is normal but it's chaos over eight and a half years of occupation would be nothing they can do in libya it's going to

topple so i don't think they've had much success in libya. according to as a levada center survey twenty five percent of russians believe could be was killed for knowing too much well at any rate the u.s. media wrote that washington had discussed various actions regarding going to have an examination of his life i want others to busted that finally we've been watching syria and it looks now like the un rest has receded and an election is coming up do you think when this election happens russia are all assad can remain in power. i think in the case of a fair election he can remain in power and not many people actually think about particularities of these events in its own countries libya syria the arab spring started with armed resistance to an existing regime and i want to stress the fact the question is can. gave them arms therefore i don't think everything is that simple in relation to either syria or libya for what i said earlier that those

events were not prepared or interfered with from within iraq egypt and should museo this certainly includes. the united states fifteen even if they don't need any unrest there or can we say those currently syria has avoided the threat of military intervention by nato and so on should i believe so i don't think the west is prepared to take this action now without the security council's backing so i think we're smarter now than at the time when the first security council resolution was adopted we will not adopt another resolution using vague terms which could be used for legitimizing peace activists things so i really don't think this is happening for them all the arab league is very unlikely to support your show and i call thank you very much for this interview you're welcome.

i. want.
